Mods for Minecraft 1.18.1

The Near mod is the perfect addition to any Nether-themed pack, adding a plethora of new fruits to the Nether. The mod adds two new fruits - Nears and Faars - which grow on bushes. To obtain these, you can break crimson and warped roots to get respective fruit's bush seeds. With these, you can make a variety of foods depending on your needs and desires. The mod also adds soul berries which can be found from soul bushes in soul sand valleys. What makes the Near mod stand out is its upcoming overhaul. Many of the blocks and items will change a lot as new content is added, so older worlds will be incompatible. This means players can look forward to a new and improved version of the mod with the new versions of the mod such as the 1.20 update. With all the new features being implemented, it is sure to provide an even more immersive Nether experience. The Near mod is an excellent mod for any Nether-themed pack, allowing players to make use of a variety of new fruits. It’s easy to use and provides a unique experience for players. With its upcoming overhaul, players can look forward to an even better version of the mod with more features. So if you’re looking for a great mod to add to your Nether-themed pack, then the Near mod. There appear to be 10 currently in the mod right now, they do not appear to have any special abilities at the moment,  though I am sure they will expand the mod more and make the food more unique in upcoming updates. Many of the foods and drinks have special appearances, some based on vanilla (like stew and some drinks) while others have completely original textures such as the Nears and Faars. It is a good Vanilla + Mod as it does not have much that is that extreme and just enhances existing nether biomes. It is Fabric and Quilt only, though an unofficial MC Forge Port does exist based on MCreator.

spark is a mod for Minecraft which is made up of several components for testing performance. It has a lightweight CPU profiler to diagnose performance issues, a memory inspection tool to take snapshots and analyse memory usage, server health reporting to provide metrics such as tick rate and CPU usage, and a range of guides to assist in the analysis of profiling reports or GC tuning. This makes it possible to find out what is taking the most resources. It looks at things like how much memory is being used, how much CPU is being used, and how many ticks the world is running. It helps people understand what might be causing their world to run slowly or lag.Often time structures and world generation mods are what cause the most lag, and spark tells you exactly which ones in a detailed yet simple command format./spark health is the main command and gives you information about the server's memory usage, CPU usage, ticks, disc, the network, and other information. There are also other tools for server users./spark profiler helps you get information about the profile and tasks and uploads it to a website and logging platform owned by spark.There are also many other and more specific commands for more specific things. The analysis will tell you exactly which classes the lag is coming from and a stack trace to see which classes are calling it so you can see what is causing the most lag with a little work and either remove or reconfigure the mod. It also references Native files./spark tickmonitor is the most important for monitoring tick speed and getting more specific information about what is causing lag spikes. Do note though that it does take time for the analysis to complete and it should not be run too many times in a row because the scan itself could still cause a decrease in performance despite the mod being lightweight. If it goes above 100% tick it tells you why. There is also memory monitor called GC monitor.It is important to note, that the command /spark is mostly used on the server side, for the client side you should use    /sparkb/sparkv    /sparkcrather than the traditional /spark command.Spark is a great mod for both server admins and modpack creators allowing you to optimise the performance of your server or modpack. There are not older Forge/Fabric/Quilt versions but also versions for BungeeCord and other server platforms.It is easy to install, just add the .jar file to the mods directory, and commands can be found in the docs. It also has a Discord server for discussion and support and there is a wiki describing how many of the commands work.Note: After removing it we had some slight issues and needed to restart the game once. It could have been related to the removal causing a few issues upon reloading the world or something else, just if you get issues after removal just restart the game.

Simple Plane is an aircraft and helicopter themed mod that brings a lot of diversity to the game. The aircraft crafting table can be created with some ingots of iron, obsidian and gold, these basic materials are found in the game and the same happens with helicopters, as well as we can also create the engine with some materials of the game, there are two types of engines: Basic motors and electric motors that need a specific load with a block that is on the crafting table.We can carry companions in large planes, we can also add objects such as a chest for more storage in the plane.

Promenade is an exploration and biomes mod that adds a bunch of new features and biomes, as well as other decorative things. It makes the world more diverse, and the new biomes are based on real-life trees from around the world that are not found in traditional Minecraft but still look good none the less.There are a few main biomes; most of them are distinguished by the trees (which are shown in the pictures in vanilla biomes).The  Cherry Oak forests have these pink trees that have pink leaves with     cherries in them (though breaking the leaves does not always     guarantee a cherry). The trees in this biome are Japanese Cherry     Blossoms, and the biomes are pretty simple outside of that. They are     more distinguishable from other trees in the mod due to their bright     pink texture, and these trees can commonly be found in modded     servers such as LadEarth.Carnelian Treeway has maple trees, which have brownish orange leaves and can     be found a lot, maple trees also often have a birch base, making     them a good, possibly better looking source of birch wood.Dark Amaranth Forests are forests with trees that are dark orange with a     brown stump, darker than most other trees.Palm trees, which can be found in deserts or their own biome, are very     tall trees with brownish green leaves and, in many cases, a slight     bend (unlike some of their tall real-life counterparts).Ducks in the plains and rivers, capybaras in swamps and rivers (though we couldn't find them in our version), sunken skeletons (found in oceans), and lush creepers in caves are also mobs. These mobs are, for the most part, extensions of vanilla mobs, such as the duck being similar to a chicken and the monsters having vanilla variants. Capybaras are probably the most original if you can find them, and they have two variants (brown and albino). They are said to be large rodents that can sleep and wake up at dawn. The model is a little like a pig.Ducks also have 2 variants, the "penkin", which is in the plains and forests, and the "mallard," which is in the plains, rivers, and swamps, each with their own appearance that looks similar to real-life ducks. Mallard is green, and penkin is yellow or white.Varieties of mobs can be summoned with commands.There are also a plethora of other smaller decorative blocks, items, and plants that can help make the world more interesting if you come across them, and unlike some other biomes mods like Biomes O Plenty or Oh the Biomes You'll Go, this is not an overly bloated mod that adds a plethora of useless biomes and wood variants you will not need (and prevents some mobs from spawning, making the game boring at times), instead having a fewThere is a wiki for Promenade. Though the wiki is a fairly basic GitBook wiki that is mostly like a slide show that is not fully complete, it is still good and does still provide many pictures and details about the mod on the newest version.Promenade requires the Dawn API, which is also used in many of the other mods by the authors of Promenade and provides many features. On newer fabric/quilt versions of the mod, you will also need TerraBlender because of missing FabricAPI Modules; the Minecraft Forge version of the mod does not need this though and does not currently exist.

Dawn API is an API that is used to make various mods for Minecraft. It is a library mod for many of the mods of the Dawn team, adding utility classes and other typical APIs for constructing mods. It aims to be available for the latest version of Minecraft at a given time and focuses mainly on builder classes to make the creation of new features easier, as well as a bunch of data fixing tools and generation. For developers, the Dawn API can be added to the build.gradle of a Gradle project for Fabric, you need to add a few maven repositories as shown on the github, as well as some by other modders like terraformer’s and shedaniel for optional mods. You will also need to set dawn_version = [version] in the gradle.properties.For players, the Dawn API has its own features, which you can get just by having the mod installed. These include:Extra     NBT parameters for TNT TileEntityA     flying block entity that is similar to a flying falling block /export     command, which can be used to export information about a game’s     content./motion     command, which lets you control the motion and velocity of entities./foodbar     command lets you change the hunger and saturation of entities./health     command lets you control the health of entities.Most of the features are mostly about controlling various elements of blocks and entities, which could be useful for some modpacks and maps, mob battles, or just having fun. Dawn API also has a contributor’s guide on their GitHub for people who want to add their own stuff, which also explains how to get started with development. Dawn API necessitates the use of Fabric API or Quilted Fabric API.Dawn API is mostly for Fabric in general.The developers of Dawn API are also behind Promenade, Culinaire, Artisanat, Mubble, Universal Ores, and other primarily Fabric mods, some of their mods use Dawn API, so if you use them you may want to get Dawn API.Dawn API also has built in compatibility with Cloth Config, Mod Menu, and AppleSkin.

 Happiness (is a) Warm Gun  is a gun mod which adds various 3D guns to minecraft. This gun is one of the most detailed guns mod, having many 3D models and special effects. The guns vary, there are some guns which are like machine guns which shoot very fast, and others which you need to reload each time.There are different types of ammo, such as fuel, bullets, and other, and each gun has its own ammo type, reload amount, and reload frequency and other attributes which are listed under the item.  Ammo does not really matter in creative move, which can shoot any gun without the ammo.Many of the guns are based off of real guns, like shotguns, revolvers, machine guns, flame throwers, and much more. It is also based off of the games Doom (which there is also another mod for by one of the contributors named AzureDoom) and Team Fortress 2.The Flame thrower lets you actually shoot fire and light blocks on fire. The mod adds a few different types of mobs, mostly villager types (different variants for Desert/Forest/Taiga/Snow), but this mod also changes the weapons of existing mobs, mostly the illagers and Technodemons in the nether. Guns and ammo can be obtained by killing a lot of them.There is also a gun table which is what is used to get most of the guns. The main materials used are iron, gold, gunpowder, and various other ingredients. Some weapons can only be found in chests found around the world.The names of the Guns provided in the mod are:PistolLuger    Silenced Pistol    Flare Gun    AK-47    SMG    Shotgun    Tommy Gun    Sniper Rifle    Grenade     Launcher    Rocket Launcher    Flame Thrower    Minigun    Balrog    Brimstone    Golden Gun    Hellhorse     Revolver    Meanie Gun    Incinerator     Unit    More in the     futureThe grenade Launcher can make big explosions, but the grenades are expensive and it takes a long time to load, and the minigun is also good but takes up a lot of bullets and does not do much damage with each bullet. RocketLauncher can also shoot rockets which do not do much damage to the terrain but can do lots of damage to the entities which hit it.The mod is for 1.16.5 and newer only on Fabric (and forks like Quilt), the developers have stated they do not plan to back port and do not want Forge ports. This mod also requires GeckoLib (also known as AzureLib) and is an example of a mod which uses geckolib that is not focused on mobs, but rather on item animations.Despite having such high quality models, the mod is pretty light weight, does not take up too much size, and most of the textures are made in plain JSON and are not really massive like 32x32. The Whole mod is under 1MB making it good for modpacks that should not be large. The authors allow modpacks to be hosted anywhere, like Technic or MinecraftStorage, but prefer if the modpack is hosted on CurseForge so they can get some of the profit.

 More Axolotl Variants is a mod which adds more  Axolotls to the game. The Axolotls are similar to the existing  Axolotls in the vanilla game, but they are different colours.These Axolotls can be spawned via the normal Axolotl spawn egg, it will randomly spawn a random Axolotl. You can still get a Vanilla Axolotl, but you also have a chance to get one of the Axolotls from this mod when using the vanilla spawn egg. The Axolotls also support having children just like other animals, just right click the floor near an existing Axolotl and it will make a mini axolotl of the same type. There are 2 Axolotls that may not be spawned with the spawn egg that also do not spawn naturally, these are the Skulk Axolotl and the Glowxolotl, these must be obtained with breeding. The breed axolotls you need buckets with tropical fish, but there are a large amount of Axolotls in the mod so it may take a while to get one of the existing ones.You can spawn most of the axolotls with commands also. The command format is /summon minecraft:axolotl [pos] {Variant:"mavm:<variantname>"}The Axolotls can do stuff like swim and other stuff like vanilla, and some of the variants in the mod are Lucia, Wilder, Golden, Green, Skulk, Dark, Red, Glowxolotl, White, Cyanide, and more. The glow one looks a lot like the glow squid and glows.The mod is officially only for 1.17 and newer, however there is a backport that is endorsed by the original creators for 1.16.5 which is an addon for the Caves and Cliffs Backport Mod. The main difference is that the command uses cavesandcliffs:axolotl rather than minecraft:axolotl like this:/summon cavesandcliffs:axolotl [pos] {Variant:<variantnumber>b}Newer versions of the mod also  requires an api called More Axolotl Variants API. The mod also has compatibility with Axolotl Bucket Fix. More Axolotls Variants is a good Vanilla+ or QoL Mod to enhance your world.

The Water Source mod improves upon the water/drinking aspect of Minecraft by adding a thirst mechanism into the game. Water can now be filtered and purified to make them suitable for drinking. The thirst mechanism works somewhat similar to the already existing vanilla hunger mechanism. There is also a thirst bar to show the water level. Similar to the hunger bar, this bar drops when the player performs exhausting actions such as sprinting, fighting, etc. This mod will be a fun addition to your game if you are looking forward to make your survival gameplay experience much more challenging. Take a look at the screenshots to see what you can expect from this mod. Download links are given below.

Direbats adds a new mob into Minecraft. As the name suggests, this mob is called the Direbat and they only spawn during full moons. They usually do not attack players, but they will become hostile if they are exposed to light or if they are taunted by a player. Any player that has been attacked by a Direbat gets inflicted with a blindness effect. Killing a Direbat will drop it's fangs, that you can use to craft fang arrows, that will inflict a blindness effect to the target. This mod offers versions for both Forge and Fabric. Download links are given below.

Item borders is a mod that directly enhances the visuals of Minecraft items in your inventory by adding custom item borders. On its own, the mod does not apply special borders to most items (Common items are disabled by default, I have made it visible so you can see directly how it looks if you use to change it), so it is up to the user or mod pack designer to customize as needed.The mod offers many customization options in its configuration file. You can edit how borders look if they should match legendary tooltip rarities, border visibility on your hotbar, and many other features. Note: The mod requires Iceberg and Prism(For versions 1.2+) to work properly in newer versions.

Legendary Tooltips is a mod that directly enhances the visuals of Minecraft items in your inventory by adding custom item borders and some quality-of-life features. On its own, the mod does not apply special borders to most items, so it is upto the user or mod pack designer to customize as needed.One of its more interesting features is the rendering of an item in its tooltip when hovered upon in the inventory or its way of compressing the lore text of any custom-made item in the game. (As you can see in my basic custom-made item in screenshots, which was made to showcase this exact feature) The mod also offers customizations with the use of its configuration and resource packs. Borders can be customized via resource packs which are capable of replacing the default border included in the mod with up to 16 custom borders that can be used by the mod.Note: The mod requires Iceberg and Prism(For versions 1.3+) to work properly in newer versions.

This amazing mod adds a whole host a features to all dimensions in Minecraft! It includes:-14 new Mineshaft types- 10 new biome variants of Villages- 15 new Temples variants- 2 new biome variants of Igloos- 13 new Pillager Outposts- 4 new types of Shipwrecks- 7 new Mansion types- 5 new Witch Huts types- 3 new kinds of Ruins! (2 on land. 1 in Nether)Personally I love the Nether City's which are repurposed End City's but found in the Nether instead; as well as this, the underground mineshafts found in the three dimensions add so much more to the game making it feel really unique and explorable. If you are bored with basic Minecraft exploration this mod will add many more features to give you a better experience exploring the game world!

Useful, simple to use and good looking, Engineer's Decor is an addon to Immersive Engineering that adds tons of decorative blocks and a few functional machines to the game.New bricks, new concrete variations, more slabs, and even a roof style block group. There's also tables, stools, window stills and modern metallic fencing. In terms of functional machinery, a new furnace type that can turn cobblestone and other rocky blocks into lava has been added, along with a machine that can freeze water into ice.Solar panels, machines that cut trees, and many other useful contraptions are also part of the mod, some can be powered optionally to make them faster, while others require power to run at all times.

A timeless classic, Immersive Engineering is a tech-industry mod that adds many multiblock machines, power sources, animated windmills and waterwheels and awesome weapons like the Railgun and the Revolver.It's a complex and difficult mod to understand and work with, but the challenge only makes it all the more interesting; To get started, craft an Engineer's Manual and keep it stored in your inventory when working on the mod's contents. Then make an Engineer's Hammer and build a Coke Oven and Alloy Kiln, both made of simple materials like clay, sandstone and bricks.With a Coke Oven, you can make Coke Coal and free charcoal out of logs. It's slow, but effective, be sure to make multiple. You'll also get Creosote Oil as a byproduct, so be sure to store it and use it to make Treated Wood. The Silo and Tank multiblocks allow for massive storage of items and fluids respectively, make good use of them. The Metal Press is also an incredibly useful tool, allowing you to make plates, cables and many more items in a cheaper and more effective way. You can connect it to conveyor belt lines to move items around automatically.Having an array of Blast Furnaces is also incredibly important, as the best content this mod has to offer is gated behind Steel and you can only make it in those.

MCDoom is a mod which adds lots of Doom Themed content to the game from the Game series Doom, including the DOS version of Doom and Doom Eternal. The mod has a collection of different items, tools, bosses, and structures, each with special abilities. Much of the content is unique and not very similar to each other, and much of the art is of very high quality, especially the models for the entities. The mod has so much content; the official review series comprises three videos combining about 1 hour’s content.There are many structures with many extraordinary abilities; one is a wooden structure that occasionally spawns in your world. It has a door which, when right slick, opens up, and even on the roof, there is a door that explodes. The structures range in complexity, some being very complex and others reasonably basic. One of the most important structures is called the Doom Portal. The Doom Portal is a glorified nether portal which takes you to the Nether, and it has nearby demons (which look a bit like Zombie Pigmen) and totems which strengthen the demons unless they are destroyed. While some structures and other things appear in the overworld, most of the stuff from MCDoom is found in the Nether or Hell.There are also guns which can be reloaded with a critical bind. The guns are Crafted with a specially shaped block (that takes up a few blocks of space) called the Gun Crafter. The Gun Crafter can be made out of overworld materials and can be used for crafting other items, such as the chainsaw and its powerful fuel, which can be used as beginner weapons. Other intractable blocks for crafting-related things include the smithing table. Many of the guns, like the BTG Eternal, are very powerful, being able to kill the ender dragon within a few shots, but it is much harder to get.The Nether is changed a lot in this mod and is very dark, and the spawns are changed a lot, as is the world generation.The mod suggests you DO NOT use shaders. However, it is still possible, and the pictures provided were taken with shaders.There are many bosses, such as the Mother demon, a giant like many of the other bosses in this mod. It shoots fireballs and has 250 health.There are also a lot of other fantastic items, such as the JumpPad, which allows you to jump five blocks, Music Discs and other excellent blocks which do various things, such as lighting up without power, similar to glowstone, Barrels, which explodes when shot but does not do terrain damage outside of fire but does not harm mobs, similar to TNT with water. However, it requires going to the Nether to get the materials.There are also many powerups which can be activated in different ways. One gives you unlimited speed three and can be started with a Curios slot.MCDoom is one of the most prominent mods and has too much content, such as the Icon of Sin, to cover without playing the mod. It is a must-have for many boss and adventure mod packs. The author, AzureDoom, is also behind many other mods, such as MCHalo and GeckoLib. MCDoom requires GeckoLib and Curios, is on MC Forge, FabricMC, and QuiltMC, and is regularly updated.
